@sickburnbro@EdBoatConnoisseur good take. It's OK to be trepidatious about what they're planning, but this is equivalent to leaving a piece hanging in chess. No reason not to take ground now and then refuse to go along with whatever they're planning in the future.
@prettygood@Pawlicker It'd be one thing if it was switching off windows for the first time, but google? There are service suites that work the exact same way for free and don't require learning anything new.
@Griffith@LukeAlmighty@PonyPanda Its like that greentext about women & low T men (the majority of the population) filter everything through consensus before considering it. It's just a survival strategy, because they couldn't live on their own without a more powerful person subsidizing their life. They believe what's popular for survival; they don't need to form a cohesive worldview.
@white_male@sickburnbro a lot of guys took BANTSposting to mean "If I don't exploit the system someone else will" and that's being a spiritual kike. I play dirty when dealing with enemies and I pay extra to those who are my frens and those who deserve it.
@sickburnbro lmao notice they don't just abolish it. Boomers in charge want to pull the ladder up behind them without losing their current cash flow.
If they tried to kill it wholesale maybe I'd actually consider voting for them to offset the assmad genX who never saved for retirement. Implying voting matters, that is.
@sickburnbro fantastic post, except that the justification is slightly flawed
as the economy becomes more complex, contributions to GDP are more and more dominated by the right tail, which is mainly male due to men because men have a higher variance
this is running off of the studies that produced the first attached image. The problem is that these studies all sampled children aged 8-13, where most women had several years of puberty, while only some males had begun puberty. This explains why the results have a higher variance for men, and why women appear to have a higher IQ than is generally observed in reality.
The real distribution is closer to pic 2, with women following a similar curve but falling off the right tail more readily compared to men.
@IAMAL_PHARIUS Thank you chinaman for these threads they are very informative friend
I only wish there was a good source of news about china's economy because I'm getting lots of boomers saying they're "worse off than america" and even if they're pouring money into unused infrastructure, I can't think of any way that's true
it was pushed so hard on me as a kid when everyone saw that as the future but I saw everyone 4-5 years older than me getting degrees in the field and realized it would be oversaturated by the time I got out there.
@john_rando@PraxisOfEvil Yeah, I've advocated this mindset for a while. Everyone translates "trades" to plumbers and electricians, but they don't consider elevator repairmen, building safety inspectors, solar installation technicians, crop dusters, locksmiths, and even dentists could maybe fall under this umbrella.
Others also don't realize that certain careers build multiple trades that translate into other jobs. Air mechanics have to learn electricity, hydraulics/pneumatics and some HVAC which can take you anywhere from automotives to construction to roller coaster repairman.
It's a big world, and paychecks doesn't just come from a singular company. Salary also isn't determined by prestige, but rather supply/demand, and the goal is to find the perfect amount of demand with as little supply.
@BowsacNoodle huh, I remember a good discussion with some religious bros about how God curses the serpent to crawl on the ground after tempting eve, which implies they were lizard like aliens before. Cool that they're undoing gods punishment, surely nothing bad will ever come from this.
are there any studies correlating mental illness and hair dye/piercings/tattoos? I'd love to see hard numbers and not just the obvious trend we all see
@merchantHelios used manjaro for a while but arch has come a ways to make it irrelevant. artix is for spergs who hate systemd (yes I know the reasoning why, I don't disagree but you're still a sperg)
